Some people have requested this, this is Gingerbread KF2 Deodexed + Root and odin flashable.
This contains all bloat.
Instructions:
1. Perform Factory Data Reset/Wipe Data (If you skip this step it may still work but may leave existing apps and may cause FC's)
2. Flash Via Odin
3. Wait 5min to boot
4. Hit Thanks
The messed up Rainbow at boot is normal if using Froyo BootLoaders just wait it will boot.
Below File contains no BOOTLOADERS
T959VUVKF2 NO BOOTLOADERS
Thanks
Dr.Honk for answering all my stupid questions.
Krylon360 for original KF2 leak

nice dude!!!

Been looking for this. Might be enough to make me give KF2 a try finally.
Thanks.

Nice up man

If I apply this (without manually doing a factory reset along the way), will I retain all of my apps and app data through this process?
I know I've used ODIN to update to the current stock release and used ODIN on my Vibrant and didn't lose my apps and app data.
Yes, there was some people in another thread that said you ALWAYS lose data when you update. I know they are wrong, but not sure what the case is with this particular update.
Does that fact that it's deodexed make it less likely that the data will be retained?

just flashed and waited 15 minutes on the rainbow screen, flashed again,same thing. how long does it take to boot the first time?

This will erase all apps, you need to use titanium backup first if you want to save that stuff.

try hitting the power button quickly it should loop once then work.
which bootloaders are you on?

froyo bootloaders. will try it again.....
K. running smooth now,will test more tommorrow.
I see the wifi signal is weak,as with the previous rom

Strangely enough I have the froyo bootloaders, flashed this, got an upgrade failure to which got me to that annoying ass screen rom upgrade failed, so I tried it again, it was successful, but oddly not only did I not get the rainbow screen but I booted with all my apps and everything intact but confirm that I am now at 2.3.3 by su binary had gotten downgraded to 2 from the ,3 beta I had had and I was coming from the KD1 rom.... Anyway strange I know....

What were you running prior to this flash?
If you are having troubles with this flash please give more info, what rom did you have before, what bootloaders are you using? Any info helps so that I can narrow down any issues and fix them.
Thanks.

had the fully stock gb rom that shipped with the phone. i was able to flash with no problems, just cant get it to connect to the network just keeps saying searching, wifi calling and txting work just fine.
-edit
oh right after i did the flash, i did do sgs unlock pro app. not sure if that would of caused any problems but it looks like my IMEI is showing up as .[]x[]~ ".[]x[]~

I was having issues with this version and getting stuck on samsung screen a whole lot; and i'm talking about i started clean with KC1 full with .pit>whitehawkxKD1+root>then this rom.
tried the other route and odined back to KD1>boot into cwm>checked mount and flashed the cwm version. worked flawlessly; except the rainbow, ofcourse.
my recommendations are quiet obvious

Replaced battery now FC galore.

When i picked up my charge i also got the desk cradle with the extra battery. Yesterday at work i was listening to music and drained the battery pretty quickly so i swapped in the extra battery. Once i rebooted i started getting a bunch of FC's. I'm getting ones for Google Services Framework, messaging, android.processes.acore and one or two others i can't remember. I reflashed GC and still get the errors. Anyone have any idea why this would happen after swapping batteries and how to fix this?
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App

It just happens sometimes. Ill have to do this once every 3 months or so. Hope you made a backup...If you have the EXT4 formatter saved then just mount all in CWM, wipe all user data, dalvik, cache, etc. Then run EXT4 formatter, then flash GC. If you don't have it, you have to restock with the EE4 Odin and PIT, then reflash GC.

Happened to me a week or so ago, huge pain because I hadn't backed up in a while but it took me about a day or two to get all my apps back in order. In all honesty though it was one of the most annoying things that could happen. Had to redownload a ton of my apps and all the apps I had backed up were outdated(like ColorNote, I lost like 4 notes because it was an old backup). Happened totally out of the blue, I just rebooted the phone because apps weren't installing and I got spammed with FCloses. Not even a factory reset/cache/Dalvcache worked I had to flash the .pit/ee4factory.md5 to get my phone working again. PAIN IN TEH ASH.

Well son of a batch of cookies. That was my last resort but i suppose i will give that a shot this evening and report back to ya.

I finally got around to restoring my phone using the EE4 ODIN. I had no idea it was going to take over an hour to do, lol. Anyway, the flash completed and passed so I unplugged the USB cable, pulled the battery, but now I can't get the phone to turn on. Is there something else that I screwed up?

It should have not taken an hour. If you flashed without the battery try flashing again with the battery in.
Also make sure you are using the PDA button.. not phone. Flash will show pass if you use phone but it will not boot.

Yep that was the mistake i made. I was in a rush to get my phone back up and running before i went to sleep that i accidently used the phone option. I reflashed using PDA and all is well. Now i just have to reroot.

I dont know if you were rooted and on a rom already but for future ref., when this happened to me I just went into CWR, fixed permissions, wiped cache and dalvik, rebooted and bam the FClosing stopped. my wifes phone on the other hand I had to just go into CWR and flash the rom over again and it cleared the problem rather than going through ODIN.

I was rooted and running GC 1.9.1. I went into CWR and tried wiping just the cache and dalvik as well as flashing the rom again and I couldn't get the FC's to stop. Thanks for the info, I'll keep this in mind next time this happens.

I was on GC 1.9 when my mega galore of FC's started happening too, my end result was a replacement phone from Verizon... I really don't know what happened or why. It just randomly happened under normal use.

Wow, that kinda sucks. They didn't say anything about the phone being rooted? They gave me hell for trading my rooted D2G for my charge.

No because I flashed a bone stock ED1 with no root and nothing at all on the phone, I even had a blank 2GB SD Card in it.

Same happened to me. Yesterday I just clicked on camera and got a force close, then froze. Pulled battery, then everything was force closing. Only thing that would function was browser. Flashed everything, wiped data, you name it. Nothing has worked for me.

It depends on the level of data corruption I suppose. As an aside, roms should really be released with journaling enable or at least have that option. The slight speed increase is not worth the hassle IMO.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

When it happened to me one the first things I tried was wiping cache and nothing worked. If you follow kv's advice and that doesn't work then the only other method would be to odin back to stock and start fresh. I did have one fc for android.processes.acore but I can't remember what I did to cause or replicate it. The only thing I'm having trouble with now that I rerooted the phone is that I cannot get back into CWR. I flashed the latest version and was able to get in to flash gc and everything else but now when I try to get in it locks up on the samsung logo.
EDIT: I wasn't able to get past the Samsung logo no matter what I tried. I ended up having to odin back and start fresh....again.

[Q] Droid is in trouble, have tried everything I know of.

Alright folks, my phone appears to have gone off the deep end.
A few weeks back, I was changing over to the new Eclipse ROM, and at first everything was going fine and dandy. However, I soon began experiencing a few force closes. I restarted the phone, and then everything went to hell. So many force closes I couldn't operate the phone, inability to make calls, unable to open apps, unable to install apps, basically all I can do is text, receive calls, and browse the web (although after enough time the phone crashes anyway). I have tried everything I know of to fix it: new ROMs via recovery, new ROMs via Odin, deleting caches, deleting personal data, using the .pit file and factory stock in Odin, the works. I even found the Samsung PST and used that, but for naught. The weird thing is that even after using the .pit file (which is supposed to delete EVERYTHING), my phone "remembers" old applications that were installed on it. In fact, it seems like there is some sort of ghost image on my phone, and whenever I restart it the phone returns to that state (any applications I tried to uninstall are back, all contact data is deleted, etc.). This ghost image hangs around no matter what I do.
Any suggestions?

Sounds to me that you obviously are not getting a true "PASS" with pit file. If you had you would have no files saved on phone. But if you followed the instructions to a "t" like you allude to...
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium

I have followed the instructions fully (and multiple times to boot), and I have always gotten a PASS.

This is sounding regrettably similar to the issues reported in this thread - try looking at post numbers in the mid 300s - I think they are centered around late September/early October (there are more than this, but I'm pretty sure that timeframe has the highest density of discussion on this). If it's what it sounds like, the /data partition is no longer in a state that can be written over (the "ghost image" you were referring to) - and truth be told I don't know if anyone has come up with a "free" solution to the problem.

Thinking... What recovery does your phone have on it now- stock or clockwork? Are you on rfs file system- did you revert back or can you flash a diff kernel using cwr?

I currently have Clockwork. I am unable to tell at this moment what my file system is, as I can't install Voodoo, and the method of adding/deleting folders on my SD card doesn't work. However, I do recall during one of my many attempts at using different kernels/radios/roms I did get the creepy female Voodoo bootup voice, but even though that said it was a success I was never able to tell whether it actually worked.
As of right now I am capable of ODIN and Clockworking any Rom/kernel/etc., but they all bring along the Ghost Image.

NAND is just a type of flash memory. If you recognize the word nand then you should have an idea. If not, it's not really important.

just covering bases by asking, did you go ALL the way back to ed1 with that pit file or a more recent version (gb or something along those lines)

From what I understand, the phone is still working, but is very unstable. The PBJ kernel does NOT support Voodoo Lagfix (but still supports EXT4). Can you try flashing imoseyon's kernel (which supports it) and enabling/disabling Voodoo? It can be found at RootzWiki. Also, when you get into CWM, it says the version at the top.

Here you go....i have been here.
Get into clockwork(CWM) - mount everything via usb and backup what you need to backup.
Perform a quick format of your sdcard so that when you see your phone on the pc, its blank.
Go back to stock odin and boot up, report any issues.

What happened next
I tried what you said because I'm in the same boat. I still get the FCs and it tries to walk me through the setup. It gets stuck at the Checking Account step in the setup wizard. I let it sit there for about an hour while I went to lunch to no avail.

[Q] Tried to restore back to stock and it's just hanging on boot

Hey everyone, I've done some searching but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for. I was having a problem with my CM10 installations so I decided to revert back to a stock rom and start fresh.
I used odin to flash "I727UCLF6_I727ATTLF6_I727UCLF6_HOME.tar.md5" (which is supposed to be the stock ICS rom for at&t) and everything goes great, but the phone now hangs on the "Rethink Possible" AT&T logo. I've let it sit for about an hour so I'm pretty certain that nothing is going to happen.
I tried doing the same thing over hoping that maybe it was a bad flash or some kind of fluke, but came back to the exact same problem.
Any suggestions here would be phenomenal! :silly:

Reboot into recovery which will be stock recovery factory reset 3x and wipe cache 3x reboot and it will come up.

Yep you guys were right that did the trick! I didn't even think of it. I meant to post this last night when I actually did it but I fell asleep.
Do you know what exactly the phone is doing (or trying to do) when this actually happens to cause it? Just out of curiosity.
Thanks again!

Only way to find out is connect a debugger. Android SDK, ddms.bat

I'm not sure exactly but I have had similar issues with getting stuck in a boot loop. Usually formating and factory reset and a fresh flash did the trick.

[Q] Flashing no longer possible: Flash successful but system does not change

Hello!
I can no longer flash anything to my GT-P5110, even factory reset has no effect. The internal storage seems to be read-only.
I think this is a longer story: About one year ago the stock firmware became incredibly slow, to the point that processes started to force close, then my user data was lost, and after factory reset the tablet went into endless boot loop.
So I decided to give CM10 a try and it worked flawlessly. The tablet was fast again. I even could upgrade to CM11 later. But around 2 month ago, only sometimes processes started to force-close or the tablet randomly rebooted itself - mostly during charging. I left it that way in the charger for some days because I had no time to bother with that issue. Then, I tried to factory reset my device only to find out that this has absolutely no effect. Installing app updates: No effect. Changing system settings: No effect. And apps start to force-close at an insane rate short after boot. The device is unusable. My could only shut down and reboot into recovery. I left the tablet lying around, turned off, out of charger, for 2 months. Now I tried to investigate:
When I "adb shell" into recovery and call dmesg, I see lots of these lines:
Code:
mmcblk0: timed out sending SET_BLOCK_COUNT command, card status 0x400d00
I think something is really broken with the internal storage. I tried to flash a newer recovery but it has no effect, even when done from download mode.
Factory reset sometimes fails with an error. Reinstalling CM fails with an error. Wiping cache seemingly succeeds but I'm sure it has no effect. I tried installing SlimRom instead which seemingly succeeds, too - but after reboot I'm greeted with the CM boot logo again.
I tried to flash stock firmware with Odin. It is very very slow, runs for about 15 minutes, then fails at around 50%. Of course: That "half flashed firmware" does in no way affect the device: It still boots CM11 "without problems", then a few seconds after finishing boot (showing home screen), force-closes start to pop-up.
What should I do? I suppose the device is out of warranty for a few weeks or months, now. And even when not: It has been flashed with CM, the triangle counter is not zero. I suppose that combination of problems (read-only/failing storage, non-stock firmware) voids warranty in a way that Samsung will deny any repair. If at least I could return the device to stock firmware things would be different maybe.
Any ideas what I could try? Is it possible that the internal storage is simply fried? fsck'ing the partitions shows no errors, just the data partition is unclean with unwritten journal data but all data is readable. So the internal storage has probably not died. It just sticks to read-only mode for whatever reason.
I've found some posts with similar problems but those seem to be about older Galaxy Tab 1 devices built 2011 or before.

Just reading over this and it sounds very similar to what I'm currently facing, which is doubly annoying as no one else has chipped in a solution
I had reboot issues with my Tab2 10.1 (GT-P5110) on stock so after realizing I'd need to factory reset bite the bullet and rooted so I could use CM10.
Had occasional reboots but nothing I couldn't live with however from yesterday evening the tablet is seemingly stuck in a boot loop. It comes on, some apps fire up and an update starts. Sometimes apps force close then BOOM I get the boot splash screen.
I've tried factory reset in recovery (CWM 6.0.2.7) to no avail and wiping just about everything which also had no noticeable effect as all my settings and the rom are still the same when I get back in (albeit briefly!).
I've tried flashing new recovery via ODIN which reported a success however that also didn't appear to take. I'm beginning to think it some serious file system or storage corruption ;(

Same problem here...
Hopefully someone can come up with a solution or at least a cause. I've tried to Odin every recovery available for my 5113 and nothing has taken. I'm currently on Omni with cwm and tried to update to the latest cwm and twrp and aroma installer yet nothing takes. I too rooted because of the incessant bootloops about 3 months ago.

For what I can tell, my device is effectively read-only. Even in download mode (Odin) I cannot even flash a different recovery (tried to flash TWRP, still boots CWM).

exactly, can't even uninstall an app. It's as if it boots from a permanent back up because even deleting pictures or files isn't permanently successful. You can uninstall and delete to your hearts content, get false hope, and get crushed after it reboots and everything is unchanged

Not looking very optimistic for this I was getting a similar inkling that it's gone into a permanent RO mode as not even the wipes from recovery have an effect. I'd also tried un-installing apps as I noticed one updating and thought it was crashing it however even when it did fire up and I disabled WLAN to stop Play Store auto-updating and removed the app on the next reboot cycle the app was back:crying::crying:
I fear I may have a big white paperweight....

Sounds like the internal partitions might need to be completely reformatted. This CAN be done through recovery, but is tricky... However without actually having your device in my hand I'm not sure 100 what the best course of action would be. Try searching for the commands to format (or maybe someone else will post them) or maybe PM me for them but no promises. I won't post them publicly on XDA because honestly there are too many users who do stuff like one-click root and don't actually know what they're doing and I don't want to be in some way responsible for someone following the command wrong and bricking their device for good. I don't need that on my conscience. Personal choice.

Would this method be any different to the way it attempts to reformat the internal partitions when you select to format the various mounts from CWM? If so I'm more then willing to give it a go as I really have nothing to lose as the damn thing is useless atm!

Hi Shakatu,thanks for the PM, however, my device in ADB is unauthorised, so wont let me get into shell. Is there a way around this please?

Unmark "Auto Reboot" in Odin when CWM is flashed... Stock room overwrites it during start.
After flashed CWM start in Recovery mode and flash new ROM.
